Kung Fu Panda 4 4K, Blu-ray & DVD Release Date Set, Special Features Detailed

Following its digital release last April, Universal Pictures has finally announced the Kung Fu Panda 4 4K, Blu-ray & DVD release date for Jack Black’s latest animated blockbuster movie. During its theatrical run, the film earned a worldwide gross of over $536 million at the box office. It also currently holds an Audience score of 86% on Rotten Tomatoes.

“After three death-defying adventures defeating world-class villains with his unmatched courage and mad martial arts skills, Po, the Dragon Warrior, is called upon by destiny to. . . give it a rest already,” reads the synopsis. “More specifically, he’s tapped to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. That poses a couple of obvious problems. First, Po knows as much about spiritual leadership as he does about the paleo diet, and second, he needs to quickly find and train a new Dragon Warrior before he can assume his new lofty position.”
